Love the closed-circuit camera feel of it. Cool!

[Coreldan]

Amazing! That cannon has so much balls from that PoV :D (from all PoVs :D)

Would've liked to see some tank HUD, but even this is cool enough :D

Empire emblem looking a bit slapped-up on there, imo. O_

I dunno, I havn't really felt that way so far from the screenies.

[Tikuto]

Rock in the way.
Blow it to pieces?
Blow it down the hill?
Collateral damage?

[Nobel]

What's the structure in the background?

[Hmr85]

Mmmm....Can't wait to put that bad boy into action.

[Hmr85]

What's the structure in the background?

It kind of looks like a town.

[igster]

Gonna be sweet blowing these fatboys off the face of the planet with our magriders *8)

[Alaska]

Looks awesome!! Love how an explosion can spray dirt on your viewport. xD

[Vash02]

That barrel looks rather stubby. An example of the weapon customisation? More punch, less accuracy?

Ya, it looks more like it was pasted on a 3d plane rather than some insurgent with a stencil and bottle of spray paint had applied it.

I think it's just the perspective

And I love the effects around the border. These little things add up

[Bags]

Gun looks really short from inside.

[Shogun]

higgles wants to make t-ray look bad ;-)
by posting all those cool screenies, even during holidays ;-)

yeah the NC cares for the people! they keep us happy at all times!
take that, VS! ;-)

thanks again, matt!
you are growing a big fanboy base here ;-)

thats because its a camera view from the side of the barrel

Didn't even notice that! It does look pretty good.

[GTGD]

The look of that cannon...I can feel the holes being blasted already

[Xyntech]

Shit. I'm no traitor, but it's going to be more unnerving than every to face one of those things down.

Good thing the Magrider can strafe around it's stubby ass.

As for the TR, well... They have the fastest tank, so they can just run away :rofl:

Although if its at all like ps1, the "faster" speed is meaningless in reality,(3-4mph between tanks in ps1) so they will still get blown away. :P

[SuperMorto]

Looks fantastic I must say :) And I'm not going to say what I think it looks like, it looks great. BY it's self :D

This reply was from my iPhone! Not sure why I told yOu that but hey I thought u should know lol!

[Traak]

It kind of looks like a town.

The Reaver, tank, and HA guys will have people even MORE defenseless than cloakers, Lodestar pilots and AMS drivers to target. Perhaps it is loaded with nurseries and kindergartens so they can REALLY stack up their kill stats.

I think an unarmed town will be seen as a great addition to the game by the killwhores; it will be like a whole barrel full of opponents that can't shoot back, not just the scattered ones they have to hunt down while avoiding anyone else who is armed.

[SKYeXile]

yea the cannon does look pretty short...150mm derp cannon?

the WOT players will understand.

[Nobel]

Seriously guys, look at that structure in the background. We know how big the "towers" are around the base by scale... that structure, looks at least 6 to 7 times as tall. It is MASSIVE, much larger than the AMP.

Yeah, its pretty big.

[Levente]

so many objects so pretty graphics, need a new pc for sure. this is madness

[Coreldan]

For those concerned about short barrel, it's most likely the same as in here, but it's just the PoV that makes it look short.

[Infektion]

I don't think anyone has noticed the planetside icon. I was looking at his desk top. I use puTty too!!!! lulz

[Xyntech]

I hadn't looked closely enough at the background. Look at all those buildings. Is that the urban combat we've heard about?

[Figment]

Higby's been shot from inside a Vanguard? :o

Did he respawn?

[Hmr85]

Has to be... It just does not look like a base to me.

[Xyntech]

Could be that it's a little of both. Maybe there is a base buried inside of their, with tons of urban buildings to provide something unique and different for the surrounding battles.

Bases span multiple hexes and each hex has to be captured, so if you have urban sprawl that extends beyond the borders of a base, you're gonna have to capture those urban environments as well if you hope to have much of a chance to cap the base.

Look at that stuff jutting out of the cliff at the top of the screen. Are those more structures? And are those rocks underneath it, or massive supporting columns?

Damn. We need a better shot of this, like that first clear shot we got of the AMP station before it was textured. That place looks anywhere from big to insanely massive.

[FriendlyFire]

Try this:

Clear your mind of what you think the picture shows.

Now imagine your a looking through a camera lense that skews your perspective and depth perception.

The structure on the left continues across to the right, then connects back to the left.
This is the base wall and its defensive structures.

The structure in the back ground (the column) is supporting the cliff, as the Base is under cut in to the face.


...this is not an urban base.

[Shogun]

I do believe the barrel is shorter, but is it not a modification/side grade?

Shorter barrel, faster shots = less accurate?

It could be?......

Saying that no, I think your right :) *edit.

[Talek Krell]

What's the structure in the background?I'd wager that it's the shielded tower base we've been seeing. I maintain that Higby said it was a bio lab, but I can't be arsed to dig up his post. I'll find the picture though, back soon...

Looks like a new version of an air tower to me with a possibility of being able to pull aircraft?
